Text

Lord Caitanya MahÄprabhu used to sing this song [seita parÄṇa-nÄtha] especially during the latter part of the day, and He would think, “Let Me take Kṛṣṇa and go back to Vá¹›ndÄvana.†This ecstasy was always filling His heart.

Purport

Being always absorbed in the ecstasy of ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī, ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu felt the same separation from Kṛṣṇa that ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī felt when Kṛṣṇa left Vá¹›ndÄvana and went to MathurÄ. This ecstatic feeling is very helpful in attaining love of God in separation. ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu has taught everyone that one should not be overly anxious to see the Lord, but should rather feel separation from Him in ecstasy. It is actually better to feel separation from Him than to desire to see Him face to face. When the gopÄ«s of Vá¹›ndÄvana, the residents of Gokula, met Kṛṣṇa at Kuruká¹£etra during the solar eclipse, they wanted to take Kṛṣṇa back to Vá¹›ndÄvana. ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa Caitanya MahÄprabhu also felt the same ecstasy as soon as He saw JagannÄtha in the temple or on the Ratha-yÄtrÄ car. The gopÄ«s of Vá¹›ndÄvana did not like the opulence of DvÄrakÄ. They wanted to take Kṛṣṇa to the village of Vá¹›ndÄvana and enjoy His company in the groves. This desire was also felt by ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu, and He danced in ecstasy before the Ratha-yÄtrÄ festival when Lord JagannÄtha went to Guṇá¸icÄ.
